Pakistan

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from Urdu پاکستان (pākistān). Coined by Pakistani politician Chuhdary Rahmat Ali in 1933, who published it in the pamphlet Now or Never as an acronym of the names of the "Muslim homelands" of western India—Punjab, "Afghania", Kashmir, Sindh, and Balochistan. Absent from said acronym (which may possibly be a backronym) is the letter ⟨i⟩, which is sometimes erroneously said to stand for the Indus, but it is in fact epenthetic. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˌpɑːkɪˈstɑːn/, /ˌpækɪˈstɑːn/ (Standard Southern British) IPA(key): /ˌpakɪˈstɑːn/, /ˌpɑːkɪˈstɑːn/ (US) IPA(key): /ˌpɑkɪˈstɑn/, /ˈpækɪˌstæn/, /ˌpækɪˈstæn/ (Canada) IPA(key): /ˈpækəˌstɑn/, /ˈpækəˌstæn/ (Scotland) IPA(key): /ˌpakɪˈstan/, /ˈpakɪˈstan/ Rhymes: -ɑːn, -ækɪstæn, -ɑːkɪstɑːn Hyphenation: Pa‧kis‧tan === Proper noun === Pakistan A country in South Asia.
